I recently started taking a daily multi-vitamin and since have been noticing red spots/skin peeling on my face? (My sun exposure has been very limmited too.) Has this happened to anyone else before?
Can vitamin supplements cause skin irritation?
You can have a reaction to anything. Stop taking the supplements and if the red spots continue, call your doctor.
Reply:I've taken supplements for many years and have not had a skin reaction, however I've had red spots surface on my face as the result of facial cleansing products. For me, the culprit ingredient was alcohol, which is found in nearly all cleansing products (even Aveeno bar soap has alcohol in it). You mentioned that your skin is peeling, which generally is due to dryness or a sunburn. Alcohol is a very drying ingredient - take a look at the ingredients in your face soap, perhaps you are having a reaction to it. (This can happen to us, even when we have used a product for a long time.)
